Natalie’s Christmas Dress

I thought about going non-traditional for Christmas colors this year, but I just couldn’t resist sticking with red and green.

I blame it on the shoes. I kept picturing bright red, ruby shoes that dictated the rest of the ensemble.

I used a cheap cotton fabric because it was what I had on hand and made a self drafted dress that sort of evolved as I went. It didn’t fit over her head at first, so I added a notch (very Washi like) the the front. 🙂 Stuff like that.

I quite love how it ended up though. I love simple looks.

I plan on making another dress with a tutorial.. soon.

I used a pattern similar to this one for the shoes (read more about it here), with some changes to make it a better fit for Natalie’s small, slim feet. I have a post on that in the works as well.

I love being able to make tights in any color and pattern. It’s really such a great tutorial.

Natalie’s cardigan was made using this tutorial I guest posted for I Am Momma Hear Me Roar.

And she was set for Christmas Eve! Well…that was the idea. This poor gal was sick all through Christmas. 🙁 She was finally well enough to wear it to church the following Sunday.

Because she is so petite (except for her head! ;)), I’ve gotten away with using the same 6 month size bodice pattern I used for Project Run & Play. I think it’s time for a bigger bodice now. It’s getting a bit tiiight. 🙂

That’s on my to do list this week!

Hope you are enjoying the new year so far. I am going to finally join the rest of the world in welcoming 2013. 😉 With this last Christmas post done, I am finally ready to move on. See you tomorrow!

Love it!! I'll keep an eye out for the tutorial! It looks like the perfect start to the blessing dress I'm dreaming up in my head for my soon to arrive little girl! Natalie is adorable! Great job making cute clothes and cute kids 🙂

The dress is adorable (especially with those gray striped tights!), but I’m dying over these pictures of Natalie! So cute! My son was basically bald until he turned one and I’ve missed kissing his soft, warm baby head ever since. Baldies are the best! 🙂
